WorkSafeBC Update
The BC Restaurant & Foodservices Association (BCRFA) continues to advocate on behalf of our members regarding WorkSafeBC’s proposed changes to include gratuities in assessable payroll and the implementation of a “verifiable tip” model.
As previously shared, we formally submitted a letter outlining our significant concerns about the administrative burden, financial impact, and operational challenges these changes may impose on hospitality businesses across the province.
To date, we have not received a response from WorkSafeBC.
Given the seriousness of this issue and its potential impact on our industry, we are preparing to escalate our efforts and pursue further action to ensure the voices of BC’s hospitality operators are heard and considered.
We remain committed to keeping our members informed and will provide updates as this situation evolves. In the meantime, we encourage members to share their feedback and experiences, as this input continues to strengthen our advocacy.
